Baby training protector



May 17, 1966 F. o. BREED BABY TRAINING PROTECTOR Filed June 24, 1965United States Patent M 3,251,072, BABY TRAINING PROTECTOR Florence 0.Breed, Mrs. Edna Brechen, 1420 Roosevelt, Guymon, Okla. Filed June 24,1963, Ser. No. 290,138 1 Claim. (Cl. 4-239) My invention is directedtoward a device for toilettraining baby boys.

It is an object of my invention to provide a new and improved device ofthe character indicated.

Another object is to provide a new and improved device of the characterindicated which prevents undesired spilling of urine during toilettraining of baby boys.

Still another object is to provide a new and improved device of thecharacter indicated which can be manufactured easily and inexpensively.

All of the foregoing and still further objects and advantages of myinvention will now be explained with reference both to thisspecification and to the drawings wherein:

FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of my invention adapted for operativeuse;

FIGURE 2 is a fragmentary plan view of the invention of FIGURE 1;

FIGURE 3 is a cross section through 33 of FIG- URE 1; 1

FIGURE 4 is a cross section through 4-4 of FIG- URE 3; and

FIGURE 5 is a perspective view of the urine protector as used in FIGURE1.

Referring now to the drawings, there is shown a toilet chair forinfants, the chair having a horizontal seat 12 with an opening 14.Removably positioned below the opening is a chamber pot 16. A urineprotector 18 is provided with a vertical member 20 having top and bottomvertically separated horizontal parallel plates 22 and 24 securedthereto. Plate 22 carries a slot 25 which extends inward from theperiphery of plate 22 for a short distance. Slot 25 is centrallypositioned in plate 22. The vertical separation between plates 22 and 24is only slightly greater than the thickness of seat 12. p The corners ofplates 22 and 24 are preferably rounded.

Seat 12 carries a hole 26 adjacent the periphery of opening 14 andfilling along a first center line 28 extending from the back to thefront of the chair. The protector 18 is installed by fitting plates 22and 24 on each side of the seat 12 and moving the protector along theperiphery of 3,251,072 Patented May 17, 1966 the opening 14 until slot25 is aligned with hole 26. A screw 30 adapted to fit into hole 26 whichis threaded, is then used to hold the protector in place. The screw isinstalled by hand and is just tight enough to hold the'protectorsecurely in place, and the said screw can be removed without using anytools. Consequently, to remove the protector, one merely loosens thescrew and removes the protector by a slot 25. When the protector 18 isin place, the bottom end of member 20 extends into pot 16. The surfaceof member 20 adjacent opening 14 is concave to cause any urine strikingsame, to flow downward into the pot without spilling elsewhere. The topend of member 20 is closed and curved toward opening 14 to preventliquid from flowing over the top thereof.

The protector can be easily removed for cleaning by loosening the screw30, so that it can be slid inwardly away from its mounting. Preferablythe protector is constructed of metal coated with porcelain or the like.The article must be of sanitary construction because it may have to bescalded if necessary, and therefore plastic construction is notpreferred.

While I have described my invention with particular reference to thedrawings, my protection is to be limited only by the terms of the claimwhich follows.

I claim as follows:

In combination with a toilet chair having a horizontal seat having anopening therein and a chamber pot positioned below the opening, saidseat having a hole adjacent the periphery of said opening, a urineprotector positioned on top of said periphery and extending bothdownwardly from said seat into said pot and upwardly from said seat,said protector having first and second vertically separated horizontalparallel plates disposed on opposite sides of the seat, the top platehaving a slot extending inward from said periphery, said slot beingaligned with said hole, and a screw extending through said pot into saidhole to hold the protector in position.
